(Long Island, NY) Attorney Scott Stone of Bellmore is helping low income tenants avoid homelessness. Over the past 2 years through the Volunteer Lawyers Project, he has provided pro bono legal representation to 62 clients facing eviction, to defend or forestall eviction from their homes in the hopes of preserving housing or giving the tenants ample time to secure alternative housing and avoid homelessness or shelters. His level of generosity and constant dedication to the pro bono work has earned him recognition of Nassau County Bar Association President John P. McEntee, who has named him Pro Bono Attorney of the Month for September 2014.

The Nassau County Bar Association partners with the Nassau/Suffolk Law Services Committee to support Volunteer Lawyers Project, which provides pro bono assistance to ensure that low income, disabled and disadvantaged individuals have equal access to the civil justice system on Long Island. Stone’s critical legal service spares the client and their families the trauma and despair of homelessness.

My father said, "Son, we're lucky in this town. It's a beautiful place to be born. It just wraps its arms around you. Nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone. You know that flag flying over the courthouse means certain things are set in stone. Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't."
